As Spin report, the contribution to the exhibition will contain two poems, a brand new piece of music and a performance from Solange called ‘We Sleep In Our Clothes.

‘Seventy States’ is described as a “reflection on Black womanhood and the themes of Black identity within [Solange’s] own work.”

Meanwhile, Solange spoke out against white supremacists and “racist ugly ass fuck bois” following the recent Charlottesville attacks.

Solange took to Twitter in response, calling for Takiyah Thompson – a 22 year-old Carolina Central University student arrested for taking down a Confederate monument – to be freed. “What we got to do to get my new hero Takiyah Thompson free,” she tweeted shortly before deleting her Twitter account.
